Tom Scott on playing Lyricon? #steelydan #saxophone #michaeljackson #shorts

A friend lend me a Tom Scott CD (Born again) when I was first year jazz college, loved it, and by those years I recognized him on TV, conducting the Oscars ceremony orchestra. Hats off to maestro Scott.

I bought my first hifi speakers in the late 70's and the salesman played Tom Scott and the LA Express' Tom Cat album. Fantastic music and had to have the album and on cd when it first became availiable.
They were the backing band on Joni Mitchell's Miles of Aisles live album/cd which is great as well. Perfect collaboration!

it's wild how this guy is the horn in some of the most remarkable music that lives at every stage of my life and i never knew

I have one of those Roland AE-30’s and love it, makes sense he would be using it now.

Man…”Today” changed how I listen to music. You are a pure genius!!!

Plot twist: he was herded in that direction because there’s another lion waiting. That’s typically what they do.

Loving the Sax-A-Boom

Legend !!!

Peeeeeeeeeeegggggggg

Sounds like a yoko instrument

Played with Lou Marini, Alan Ruben and Tom Malone in the Blues brothers band. Doesn't get much better than that

Would've expected that to be named Winthesizer 🤔

If you met this guy at Home Depot, and didn't know who he was, it would likely shock you to know the legendary tracks and artists he's supported...and that he, himself, is a legend. Tom Scott has been there, and definitely done that!

Are they MIDI? And were they in the 80s?

The mystery unveiled at last!

And no potty mouth this time! Yay!

shoutout to Nyle Steiner, inventor of the EWI.

The first time I heard it, Dan fogelberg used one on the instrumental break for Heart Hotels, the part frequently played in concert by a soprano saxophone

So it’s a Wii remote?

Wx7 has the best look

Would you please include links to your full interviews? This is a great way to discover and quickly get to episodic content. 😊

Tom Scott & LA Express..

I know both of those songs backwards and forwards and never knew it was this instrument, which I never knew existed, was producing those incredible sounds!

Can't even hear the thing they're talking about... 😕

Of course you can't hear it

Tom Scott is truly amazing!

I mean it sounds good so. 👍

We grew up wondering just what the hell that sound was. It's so unlike any wind instrument, and yet it's undeniably a wind instrument.

Tom scott not wearing a red t shirt and not speaking brittish is odd.

Without the Lyricon, we never would have had the Cantina Band from Star Wars.

The Jazzman hissef 🎉🎉🎉

and just like that, Lyricon prices went up 200% on eBay

Solo on Hard to Say is epic

Tom Scott is so associated with the Lyricon I actually thought he invented it!😉

sax player in my band played an ewi. it was sweet!

I love hearing stories about how songs were recorded.

I always wanted and ewi, I need to look into them again

I didn’t know that was a thing. Now I want one.

Now I understand the Cantina Band.

No… just no

One of the best tv show theme’s of all time season 2 of Starsky & Hutch was by Tom Scott

he played the closing instrumental theme for the show Family Ties as well.

IS IT EASIER TO PLAY THAN A CLARINET & SAX?

Why use a synth wind instrument over a real one?

I have only ever seen one person play this instrument “Jean Michel Jarre”

I have a great Tom Scott album, but I didn't know he did all these other things

Love Tom Scott. However, this is the most rehearsed interview I have ever seen.

He did the Lyricon solo on "Do That To Me One More Time,"

I wondered what instrument made that sound!!

aka the Kazoo

My favorite, Tom Scott
